Skycrest will be sending our students to the Warren Willis Camp this summer on week 1, which is June 15-20, 2026. Those interested in sending your student(s), rising 4th grade through graduating seniors, need to head over to https://wwumccc.org/cost/, and follow the link that says "Register." Tuition scholarships are available (they call "camperships"). Campership applications received after April 1 will be considered if funds are available. If you would like to go but are still unable to produce funding, let me know, and we’ll make sure that your child can attend. This is such a special experience in the lives of our students, and I hope yours will be able to join us! Please let me know if you have any questions.
Current Sermon Series “Where the Rubber Meets the Road.”
Easter is a season celebrating new life, hope and possibility. And…life continues on and with it the things that plagued us previously. As discouraging as that may be, the resurrection has never been presented as the elimination of struggle, but as the irreversible foundation that makes endurance, transformation, and hope coherent in the middle of it. This series taps into the prayers of a resurrection people living the real world. Weekly topics address; Pain and Suffering, Sin that Separates, Doubt and Uncertainty, Relationships and Community Conflict, and Vocation and Meaning.

Scripture
“Jesus Appears to Thomas
24 One of the twelve disciples, Thomas (nicknamed the Twin),[a] was not with the others when Jesus came. 25 They told him, “We have seen the Lord!”
But he replied, “I won’t believe it unless I see the nail wounds in his hands, put my fingers into them, and place my hand into the wound in his side.”
26 Eight days later the disciples were together again, and this time Thomas was with them. The doors were locked; but suddenly, as before, Jesus was standing among them. “Peace be with you,” he said. 27 Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and look at my hands. Put your hand into the wound in my side. Don’t be faithless any longer. Believe!”
28 “My Lord and my God!” Thomas exclaimed.
29 Then Jesus told him, “You believe because you have seen me. Blessed are those who believe without seeing me.””
